IRONY:- irony is particularly used when a writer needs to convey something that he actually never means to say but says it in a way to criticize a particular topic for a particular sentence . most importantly in an irony, a person says absolutely opposite to what he means to say. a person says absolutely opposite to what he means to say

famous examples:- 
In the famous shakespearean tragedy , Julius Caesar.

when Julius Caesar was murdered by his own best friend , brutus .... Mark Antony being one of the most loyal people of Julius , had made an ayonika speech in Greece which is really famous as one of the biggest ironies of the world. 

the speech repeat the same line "Brutus is an honorable man" .. why the audience knows that a murderer can never be honorable.


PARADOX:- a paradox is a simple line which is contradictory but has a hidden truth inside it like some work you can say that it is twisted and turned to be presented in a hidden truth form.

for example:-
This statement is a lie.

This is the most famous. These five simple words are contradictory in the sense that if the statement is true, then as mentioned it's a lie - meaning it’s not true. But if it’s not true, then it’s a lie, which makes it true. ^^" 


SATIRE:- the best motive behind introducing a satire in a piece of writing is the thought that there is too much person in the world which needs to be eradicated by the pen.. simply meaning that after is usually in the form of humour, irony or maybe paradoxes too.. it is used to around the opposition against a certain contradicting fact which is not justified in society.

example :- 
the entire book of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a satire on the English political system. this is because in Lilliput which the author indicates as a 12 inch tall Society, has different types of parties which are classified on basis of weird things like the size of boots and other things.

this classify the ridiculous believes of the search and other things which at that time was considered sacred and were held holy.
